I'm Not Usually a Lime Person
 
1 Attachment(s)
But my sister had given me some 10" squares a while back, and when I found a block I wanted to try, these are the colors I picked. I had to do it by trial and error, but it came out okay. I think I will try to use similar fabrics for future test blocks, and when I get enough, I can make a lap quilt that will "go together". You know what I mean.

ThT color combination is gorgeous and I really like that block. Good idea for your test blocks so you can end up with a quilt.

I love it! But I love lime. Brilliant idea, I am going to do that myself.

Love the block and fabrics!

That is the perfect contrast fabric to go with that print. Sort of shabby chic.

those are the colors i used to make my mom a pants outfit in the 60's... thanks for prompting the memories. you did a good job assembling the block.

Great idea on the test blocks and colors. Will make a nice quilt someday.

Like the block and the fabrics you used in it.

For me, I like sampler block quilts to have some common theme - similar colors, or the blocks are made on the same grid.

nannyrick 10-18-2014 03:58 PM

That is very pretty.

mucky 10-18-2014 04:07 PM

Color works very well.

I really like this combination, but I do like lime.

FabQuilter 10-18-2014 08:18 PM

Your block is beautiful.

sewellie 10-18-2014 08:31 PM

I love lime. I like black, white and lime green together.

Kaat 10-18-2014 09:14 PM

I am not usually a lime person myself, but that is beautiful. I love it!

Beautiful block and will be a lovely quilt. The lime with the blue is really very pretty. I saw that tip about making test blocks with a similar theme and them making them into a quilt. I am starting to do that.

javin22 10-19-2014 05:17 AM

I think that the colors are great together. It will be very pretty.

celwood 10-19-2014 05:57 AM

Love the colors. The lime does not overtake the block

Same here! And especially with that blue.

I've gotten to where I like to challenge myself with putting colors together that others may not. Nature doesn't have a problem so why should we?

wildyard 10-19-2014 06:10 AM

I love your blue w/green leaves fabric. I think you can make a lot of sampler blocks in similar combinations for a wonderful sampler quilt down the line. Great block too!!

trolleystation 10-19-2014 07:52 AM

Great color combo. Sometimes a shot of color gets our creative juices flowing.

lfstamper 10-19-2014 07:54 AM

Nicely done!

MargeD 10-19-2014 09:12 AM

That's a great block and I like the combination of lime and blue.

I love the colors and the block.

debcavan 10-19-2014 02:47 PM

But it is not overpowering the way you have used it. Just a touch. Gorgeous

judy363905 10-19-2014 03:50 PM

Great block for these fabrics. :)
